Electronics » 2016 r1200rs auxliary pulsing brake lights?

Who's using what for these,

Are there specific lights people prefer made for that plate set up or are people using an aftermarket bracket to hang the extra break lights?

I'm looking to make myself more visible with pulsing brake light pods both sides of plate.

Other suggestions others may have welcome

Thanks

I use a Clearwater Billie Junior brake light array that I've had fitted with my Darla lights with 'Canopener' for over 4 years. Made in California and reassuringly expensive.

It works really well and is very adjustable.

We have Clearwater lights and the Billie Jr brake light they sell.
The brake light attaches to the bottom of your license plate.
It may not be what you want since you are planning to use another company for the forward lights.
You need the Clearwater Canopener to make the brake light work.

just say no

There's a whole thread entitled "Billy Jr." https://www.r1200rsforum.com/t294f17-Billy-Jr-Brake-Light.html#msg12699
That said, I went for the senior version with the heat sink/license frame.

(In case mspratz is reading, pursuant to a recent discussion, he should note that I'm trail braking well into this turn.)

Denali as well, plug and play with auxiliary lights in front. Being seen is not a bad thing.

I think more visibility is a very good thing. With the traffic where I am, distracted drivers everywhere, and the tiny OEM lights, I'm planning to add lights front and rear. on the aft side:

I am a fan of CW products and their customer service. Their price point, not so much. ;) But their quality is second to none, imo. The Billie is a solid product, easy to recommend. If you can stomach the cost, I doubt you'll regret it.

I recently went with the Denali B6's to compliment some of their Switchbacks (turn, brake in one) I'm going to try: their side-by-side licence plate Kit (p/n DNL.B6.10100 from twisted throttle) and bottom kit (p/n DNL.B6.10000). The latter is closest to the billie.

If you don't have a controller and go with Denali, their price-premium Smartcan (vs Hex EzCan - same product, different wiring) makes it plug-n-play w Denali lights.

Denali seem to have upped their game a whole lot over the last few years, in response to Clearwater et. al. I guess. They weren't available when I went the transatlantic route.

You do not need the controller, although with it you gain programmability.

Negative. Flashing requires a controller (Denali, Hex, Skeene, etc.). The B6 has 3 wires: ground, run, brake. Run will light at reduced intensity if connected. Brake at full intensity when braking, if so connected. Run/brake aforementioned tapped into run (say, license plate light) and brake circuits off CAN bus [without controller].
